Our Services>AlEx™:
“The artificial horizon helps you keep your plane trimmed and oriented to the ground, in other words, aligned for the best flying. AlEx™ is the horizon of organizational alignment and strategic change.”
It is difficult to expect and reinforce accountability when stakeholders don’t understand or even realize each others’ expectations.
The concept appears simple enough, but the manner in which you deal with the complexities of multiple stakeholders’ expectations can be daunting. In fact, in the construction or infrastructure environment, it can frequently result in lost time, strained relationships/conflicts and massive cost overrides.
AlEx™ helps align people, and navigate toward productive working relationships that improve the chances for successful change and project implementation.
PDS Group will facilitate meetings with each of the main groups’ leaders to elicit their perspective on key issues and what they want to be better aligned on with each others’ groups and individuals. The general flow to this initial work can look like this:
- Develop a consensus of components with all Leaders & Stakeholders
- Coach key players in generating expectations for each of the component groups
- Provide analysis and feedback to the leadership team, isolating key initiatives
- Align the process over the project
- Develop sufficient trust and transparency as the means to eliminate profit erosion, conflicts and claims
- Use accountability and evidenced based management as the means to accomplish the initiatives
- Facilitate managers to coach others to reach higher performance standards that meet their expectations
AlEx™, PDS Group’s proprietary software, enables accurate project measurement and accountability over time. This innovative program enables interaction among stakeholder groups by storing and analyzing the data of hundreds or thousands of expectations. It then helps map the progress of a project to ensure that all stakeholders are accountable for their agreed expectations.
